  • MacOS update broke compatibility with Compressor

    The app was working just fine on my M1 MacBook Pro Max. I just updated to MacOS Sonoma 14.8.7, which broke compatibility with Compressor 4.10.1 and now shows the crossed out icon. Trying to open it says "In order to use 'Compressor.app', you need to update to the latest version." but when I go to the App Store and try to download it, it says I need to download an older version and proceeds to do that. But that's the older version that doesn't work. WFT, Apple?

    Why the hell do I have to be on the latest version of FCP??? Im not updating and risking ruining my project. Also not every FCP build is equally stable. Useless to me
  • Version 5.2 removed Dolby encoders

    Seems like it is to prepare for Rosetta deprecation – in 18 months. Not great for people who paid for this. If you’re an video compression app, being able to encode to AC3/EC3 is a big deal.

  • DVD Authoring is gone

    I’ve been using an old version of Compressor because one of the main uses I have it for is to author DVD and Bluray Discs. It’s been a couple of years now, but they still haven’t brought it back. I made the mistake of upgrading my MacOS to a new version where the old version of compressor no longer runs on. Time to roll back the MacOS install.

    Worst problem I’ve had with Compressor is perhaps a bug because no other review seems to mention this. I was exporting a fairly large file and was surprised when I returned to my Mac to find system storage had ran out. Turns out Compressor had been creating massive temporary files but not deleting them. In fact, I couldn’t even manually delete them thru storage management, I actually had to access the hidden library files of my Mac and find the temp folder myself. Even Apple support couldn’t help me with it, they simply recommended I get a large external drive (which I don’t think would’ve mattered in this situation). Aside from that I’ve had some rendering issues with 4k videos where I’d get strange 3-4 second macro blocking in the footage. That could be a problem on the FCP X side of things, I’m really not sure.
